Celebrating 10 Years Since the Series Finale

YOU ARE BEING WATCHED. The government has a secret system—a machine that spies on you every hour of every day. And now, ten years after the final number came through our TV screens, we're gathering to celebrate the legacy of Team Machine.
Join fans from around the world for a weekend of character panels, episode watchalongs, fan art showcases, fanvid screenings, meta discussions, and community celebration. This is a free, fan-run convention bringing together the Person of Interest community across all platforms.
The Contingency Con Open Vid Show is open to all ships, characters, eras, and genres. Submit one vid. Premieres welcome—this can be the first public showing of your work. Vids screen during the convention weekend.
